Paganelli Goes Above and Beyond

I am writing on behalf of the Yorktown Trail Town Committee to thank Yorktown’s Highway Superintendent, Dave Paganelli, for installing our “Welcome to Yorktown” signs along the North County Trail in Railroad Park in Yorktown Heights. The two professionally-designed signs were donated by the Trailside Café and by the Trail Town Committee along with the Yorktown Land Trust. The signs are just one way that we’re informing trail users about Yorktown Heights businesses, to help support a local and sustainable economy.

Not only did Dave install the signs, he also went out of his way to help make sure that our sign launch and installation went as smoothly as possible. Dave was a problem solver on many fronts, even after managing a 2 a.m. highway emergency the night before our launch on June 4.

Yorktown is fortunate to have a public servant who is so responsive to special requests like this. Thank you, Dave.

In an article from the May 1 issue (“Yorktown Councilmembers Receive ‘Disturbing’ Postcards”), Councilman Ed Lachterman said he was “disturbed” to receive a colored postcard from a constituent. He seems confused as to what it might mean.

I did not write that rainbow-colored postcard, but I can try to help him out of his confusion, because I and plenty ...

This is a call to the new Yorktown Town Board for action to bring to conclusion some unfinished business left over from the previous administration, as well as to ask for action on some properties that blight the Shrub Oak hamlet. The “old business” is as follows:

1. On Route 132, there is the former Adams-Bernstein House that was donated to the town and was for a time a museum. It ...

In his thoughtful work, “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” Thomas Kuhn reflects on the revolutionary contributions of such giants as Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Einstein. But he is quick to remind us that it’s often the scientists whose names we never hear of who make the vast majority of scientific progress. These hardworking men and women spend most of their waking ...

Do you ever wonder what BOCES stands for? We associate the name with a center of learning that supplements the general curriculum of local high schools by teaching students specialized trades. Beyond that, does everyone in the non-BOCES population, those who have no direct connection to the programs, fully appreciate the priceless value it brings to our communities’ young adults and their ...

I am not easily shocked by much anymore. Yet, I was by last week’s column by fellow columnist Bernie Kosberg. Kosberg, whose column runs regularly in Mahopac News and sometimes in Yorktown News, said in the first paragraph: “Several readers decried my conclusion that the overwhelming support of Putnam County voters for Trump was not due to economic anxiety or the unavailability of ...
